the two power wires are soldered to two opposite surfaces of the PCB, respectively.
5. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the detection signal wire and the at least one auxiliary signal wire separates two pairs of differential signal wires.
6. A cable connector assembly comprising:
a cable including a plurality of differential signal wires in pairs for transmitting high speed signal, a detection signal wire, at least one auxiliary signal wire, a plurality of low speed signal wires, and two power wires arranged adjacent to the low speed signal wires, wherein the plurality of differential signal wires, the detection signal wire, and the at least one auxiliary signal wire are arranged at an outer periphery of and enclosing the low speed signal wires and the two power wires;
an electrical connector; and
a printed circuit board (PCB) interconnected between the cable and the electrical connector and defining opposite two surfaces; wherein
on one of said two surfaces, a front row of pads are mechanically and electrically soldered with corresponding contacts of the electrical connector, a middle row of pads are soldered with the lower speed wires and the corresponding differential signal wires and the corresponding power wire, and a rear row of pads soldered with a shielding layer of the corresponding differential signal wires.
7. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 6 , wherein said middle row of pads further are soldered to the at least one auxiliary signal wire.
8. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 6 , wherein on the other of said two surfaces of the printed circuit board, another front row of pads are mechanically and electrically soldered with corresponding contacts of the electrical connector, another middle row of pads are soldered with the corresponding differential signal wires, the corresponding power wire and the detecting signal wire, and another rear row of pads are soldered to a shielding layer of the corresponding differential signal wires.
9. The cable connector assembly as claimed in claim 8 , wherein said another middle row of pads are further soldered with said at least one auxiliary signal wire.
